NEW DELHI: Jet AirwaysNSE 6.16 % shares surged 9 per cent on NSE in opening deals on Tuesday, a day after founder-chairman Naresh Goyal stepped down from its board.
With this, the stock is on course to extend its winning streak to the third consecutive session.
Goyal exited after a months of tug-of-war with the lenders to the airline as well as investor Etihad Airways, which stemmed from his reluctance to give up control of the financially battered carrier. His wife Anita Goyal stepped down along with him. Also, Goyal will no longer be the chairman of Jet.
